Barack Obama and the FDR-Great Depression Mythby Michael Fumento (more by this author) Posted 11/26/2008 ET The cover of Time magazine has Barack Obama photoshopped into Franklin Delano Roosevelt&#xE2;&#x80;&#x99;s famous convertible, complete with oval-shaped glasses and cigarette holder held between the teeth. &#xE2;&#x80;&#x9C;The NEW New Deal,&#xE2;&#x80;&#x9D; The cover reads. Surely many who voted for Obama saw him as potentially the new FDR, the man to lead us out of hard economic times. But they&#xE2;&#x80;&#x99;ve been misled, for even FDR wasn&#xE2;&#x80;&#x99;t FDR.
